From Tooling to Finished Parts: Jinda’s One-Stop Custom Aluminum Die Casting
On September 29, 2026, Bühler announced that its megacasting technology had entered series production with the Volvo EX60. At Volvo Cars’ Torslanda plant in Sweden, two Bühler Carat 840 die-casting cells produce the rear underbody as a single aluminum component, replacing approximately 100 conventionally manufactured and assembled parts.
The project illustrates an application of aluminum casting for component integration. It also provides a useful perspective for custom manufacturing: part design, tooling, and production processes need to be considered together.
Looking Beyond the Casting Stage
Custom aluminum parts require more than a defined external shape. Assembly dimensions, mating features, surface requirements, and order quantities also influence the manufacturing plan.
Defining finished-part requirements before tooling begins helps establish how casting and subsequent machining should work together. Buyers should identify critical dimensions, tolerances, and acceptance requirements in their technical documentation so these can be considered during quotation and process review.
Tooling, Aluminum Die Casting, and Machining
Jinda’s published service portfolio includes mold manufacturing, aluminum die casting, and machining. Its website also describes custom manufacturing based on customer drawings or samples, covering product design, tooling, production, and packaging.
For an aluminum die-casting inquiry, customers can submit drawings or samples together with material specifications, critical dimensions, quantities, and finished-part requirements. Jinda can then review the project and confirm the applicable processes and service scope.
The practical purpose of a one-stop manufacturing approach is to coordinate these stages within one project. Tooling requirements, finished dimensions, and delivery specifications should remain consistent throughout the process.
Starting with Clear Technical Requirements
To support project evaluation, customers are encouraged to provide:
2D drawings, 3D models, or physical samples;
A specified aluminum alloy or operating requirements;
Critical dimensions, tolerances, and assembly requirements;
Surface finish, appearance, and inspection requirements;
Expected order quantities and delivery schedules.
Materials, achievable tolerances, finishing processes, and inspection arrangements should be confirmed through project review and agreed technical documentation.
Customers seeking custom aluminum die-cast parts can contact Jinda with drawings or samples to discuss a manufacturing solution from tooling to finished components.
